Johann Ludwig Tieck (ur. 31 maja 1773 w Berlinie, zm. 28 kwietnia 1853 tamże) – poeta, dramaturg, powieściopisarz, nowelista, bajkopisarz, tłumacz i krytyk, jeden z najwybitniejszych przedstawicieli wczesnego romantyzmu w Niemczech. Był także wydawcą i doradcą teatralnym w Berlinie i Dreźnie. Publikował również pod pseudonimem Peter Lebrecht i Gottlieb Färber. Pionier romantyzmu w teatrze, głównie poprzez poświęcone jemu prace Friedricha Schlegla, teoretyka wczesnego romantyzmu, wywarł wpływ na całą tę epokę. W późniejszym okresie swojej twórczości zbliżył się do realizmu.

W 1797 r. Tieck wydał udramatyzowaną baśń ludową Kot w butach: bajkę dla dzieci w 3 aktach, z intermedium, prologiem i epilogiem. Autor powołuje w Kocie w butach, jako pierwszy w historii na taką skalę, wątki autotematyczne, metateatralne. Tieck powołuje rzeczywistość w teatrze, która podlega od razu zniszczeniu. W świecie przedstawionym pomieszczono dwie strony aktu teatralnego- bohaterów sztuki, jej twórców (Poeta- autor) i odbiorców. Dzieło Tiecka to pierwszy dramat oparty na grze iluzji i antyiluzji, tworzenia i niszczenia, których akt staje w centrum uwagi razem z osobą twórcy i demaskatora zarazem. Poprzez parabazę, wykroczenie poza świat przedstawiony dzięki obecności chóru (nie bez powodu Tiecka nazywa się romantycznym Arystofanesem; chór spełniający podobną rolę jest obecny w pojedynku Ajschylosa z Eurypidesem w Żabach), autor zwraca się bezpośrednio do widowni, dokonuje deziluzji. W tej udramatyzowanej wersji baśń ludowa o Kocie w butach zostaje rozbudowana o wątek króla i księżniczki. Ludwig Tieck powołuje świat, pokazuje teatr i go komentuje. W wydanych w tym samym roku Fragmentach krytycznych Fryderyk Schlegel teoretyzuje o tym, co zrobił Tieck. Nazwał to zjawisko ironią romantyczną, a akt kreacji rzeczywistości i osobę kreatora, a nie samą rzeczywistość, ustawia w centrum nowej estetyki romantycznej.

Życie

Młodość, studia i pierwsze sukcesy

Ludwig Tieck urodził się 31 maja 1773, dorastał w Berlinie razem z młodszym rodzeństwem, bratem Friedrichem i siostrą Sophie. Od 1782 roku uczęszczał do gimnazjum w Berlinie (Friedrich-Werdersche Gymnasium), pod przewodnictwem Friedricha Gedika, gdzie nawiązał bliską znajomość z Wilhelmem Heinrichem Wackenroderem. Studiował historię, filologię, oraz starożytną i nowożytną literaturę w Halle (1792), Getyndze (1792/1793, 1793/1794), oraz w Erlangen (1793, tu razem z Wackenroderem). Właściwym celem studiów było uzyskanie wykształcenia potrzebnego do zostania wolnym pisarzem, już wtedy zajmował się on szczegółowo Szekspirem. W czasie studiów w Erlangen podejmował wraz z Wackenroderem wyprawy do Norymbergi, także w regiony Szwajcarii Frankońskiej, aż po Smreczany, jak również do barokowego zamku Weissenstein w Pommersfelden, przeżycia z tych wypraw uwieczniał później w jego znanych opisach podróżniczych.

Pierwsze prace poetyckie pisał w Berlinie, jeszcze zanim podjął studia. Przerwał je w 1794 i powrócił do Berlina (do 1799). Literatura rozrywkowa i literackie eksperymenty w duchu późnego oświecenia opublikował on w zbiorze Straussfedern (od 1795), jego sztuki pisane prozą były częściowo wynikiem wspólnych prac z jego siostrą Sophie.

Ukazały się jego pierwsze powieści i opowiadania takie jak: Peter Lebrecht, eine Geschichte ohne Abenteuerlichkeiten (1795, 2 tomy.), William Lovell (1795-96, 3 tomy) i Abdallah (1796), po czym przechodząc w styl właściwego romantyzmu, podejmował dramatyczno – satyryczne opracowania starych pieśni ludowych i bajek, publikując je pod tytułem Volksmärchen von Peter Lebrecht (Berlin 1797, 3 tomy.) Z książką Franz Sternbalds Wanderungen Tieck dał kierunek powieściom romantycznym (Novalis, Eichendorff).

Pod koniec roku 1797 Tieck spotkał po raz pierwszy Friedricha Schlegela. Po poślubieniu w 1798 roku w Hamburgu córki kaznodziei (Juliusa Alberti), przebywał on w latach 1799–1800 w Jenie, gdzie zawarł przyjacielskie stosunki z braćmi Schlegel, Novalisem, Brentano, Fichte i Schellingiem. Do wczesnego romantyzmu zaliczani byli w tym okresie także August i Friedrich Schlegel. Dla teorii rozwijanych przez Schlegela Tieck dostarczał literackich przykładów (i na odwrót). Poznał także Goethego i Schillera. W 1801 zamieszkał razem z Friedrichem von Schlegelem w Dreźnie. Miał swój udział w tworzeniu pism Wackenrodera.

W Cybince

W 1801 Tieck przeniósł się z jego rodziną do Cybinki, na wschód od Frankfurtu nad Odrą, na posiadłość jego starego znajomego Burgsdorffa, który to zaprosił pisarza. Mieszkał tam, z przerwami, aż do 1819 roku.

Przebywał on po części w Berlinie, po części na hrabiowskiej posiadłości w Cybince pod Frankfurtem, skąd powrócił po podróży do Włoch, która miała na celu studiowanie przechowywanych w Watykanie staroniemieckich rękopisów. W tym czasie pojawiły się Prinz Zerbino, oder die Reise nach dem guten Geschmack (1799), Franz Sternbalds Wanderungen (Berlin 1798),powieść wychwalająca staroniemiecką sztukę, przy której swój koncepcyjny wkład miał jego przyjaciel Wackenroder oraz Romantische Dichtungen (Jena 1799-1800, 2 tomy.) wraz z tragedią Leben und Tod der heil. Genoveva (Berlin 1820), jak również spisaną podług księgi ludowej komedią Kaiser Octavianus. W tych utworach autor otwarcie zwracał się w kierunku romantyzmu.

Poza tym opublikował on tłumaczenia Don Quijota Cervantesa oraz przekłady kilku przypisywanych Szekspirowi sztuk pt. Altenglisches Theater (1811), także opracowanie utworu Frauendienst Ulricha von Lichtensteina (1812), jak i wybór sztuk dramatycznych Rosenplüta, Hansa Sachsa, Ayrera, Gryphiusa oraz Lohensteina ("Deutsches Theater", Berlin 1817, 2 tomy). Wydał także zbiór wcześniejszych bajek i sztuk teatralnych pt. Phantasus, rozszerzony o nowe opowiadania oraz sztukę Fortunat, które ponownie wzbudziły zainteresowanie niemieckiej publiczności osobą Tiecka. I tak w rzeczy samej bajki i opowiadania takie jak Der getreue Eckart, die Elfen, Der Pokal, Jasnowłosy Eckbert (Der blonde Eckbert), dzięki swym formalnym zaletom utrzymywały przez długi okres ich poetycką rangę. Czas wojny w 1813 pisarz spędził w Pradze. Po nastaniu pokoju podróżował do Londynu i Paryża, głównie w celach służących sporządzeniu obszernego dzieła o Szekspirze, którego jednak nigdy nie ukończył.

W Dreźnie

1819-1841 Tieck mieszkał w Dreźnie. Pomimo przeciwieństwa, gdzie dystynkcja Tiecka stała naprzeciw trywialności drezdeńskiej beletrystyki, udało mu się głównie dzięki jego co wieczór organizowanym dramatycznym wykładom, które stały się znane w całych Niemczech, zebrać wokół siebie krąg ludzi, który całkowicie uznawał jego poglądy na sztukę.

Jako dramaturg teatru zyskał on zwłaszcza w 1820 roku znaczącą efektywność, która często była nadszarpywana przez intrygi i kłamstwa trywialnych opozycyjnych stronnictw. Jako pisarz posługiwał on się od czasu zamieszkania w Dreźnie prawie wyłącznie formą noweli. Ich cały zbiór (1852-54, 12 tomów) ukazywał jego wielki talent pisarski. Wydawał dzieła sztuki, w których prawdziwie literackie zadania rozwiązywał za pomocą czysto poetyckich środków, wieloma innymi utworami torował on natomiast drogę nowelistyce, w której epickie elementy całkiem się wycofują, a opowiadanie staje się tylko środkiem do przedstawienia konkretnych stanowisk oraz rezultatów edukacyjnych. Do najważniejszych dzieł z pierwszej kategorii zalicza się Die Gemälde, Die Reisenden, Der Alte vom Berge, Die Gesellschaft auf dem Lande, Die Verlobung, Musikalische Leiden und Freuden, Des Lebens Überfluß i inne.

Pośród dzieł historycznych w kategoriach trwałego znaczenia rozważane są takie pozycje jak Der griechische Kaiser, Der Tod des Dichters i przede wszystkim niedokończony utwór Aufruhr in den Cevennen. W jego wszystkich nowelach imponujący jest nie tylko prosty wdzięk opisu literackiego, ale także różnorodność żywych i typowych charakterów, czy też głębia poetyckiej idei. Także w prozaicznych nowelach Tieck pokazuje swoje mistrzostwo relacji literackiej. Jego ostatnie większe dzieło to Vittoria Accorombona (1840), powstałe pod wpływem francuskiego romantyzmu, pozostawiające jednak mimo szerokiej okazałości barw w większości niekorzystne wrażenie.

Także pozostała literacka aktywność Tiecka była inspirowana czasem spędzonym w Dreźnie. W 1826 roku przejął on wydanie i dokończenie zapoczątkowanego przez A. W. v. Schlegela tłumaczenia Szekspira, oraz wydał pozostałe pisma Heinricha von Kleista (Berlin, 1821), po których pojawiły się dzieła zebrane tego samego autora. Dzieła takie jak Die Insel Felsenburg Johanna Gottfrieda Schnabela (Wrocław 1827), zbiór pism Lenza czy też szekspirowskie dzieła zostały wzbogacone przedmowami oraz rozprawami o trwałym znaczeniu i wartości. Z dramatyczno-krytycznej działalności wynikło pojawienie się zbioru pt. Dramaturgischen Blätter.

W Berlinie
W 1841 roku król Fryderyk Wilhelm IV Pruski wezwał pisarza do Berlina, gdzie ten w wyniku złego stanu zdrowia oraz z powodu śmierci jego najbliższych osób, żył w osamotnieniu życiem wprawdzie zaszczytnym i beztroskim, ale w gruncie rzeczy zrezygnowanym i zmarł 28 kwietnia 1853 roku. Jego Pisma krytyczne pojawiły się w dwóch tomach w 1848 roku.
Sprzeczna natura Tiecka może być wyjaśniana nie tylko przez niejednolitość jego wykształcenia, w którym wzajemnie zwalczały się osiemnastowieczny racjonalizm z mistycznym romantyzmem, ale także poprzez elementy improwizatorskie, oraz te zależne od przypadkowych momentów związanych z jego talentem, co rzadko kiedy prowadziło do wykształcenia się dowcipnych i pełnych życia projektów literackich.

Debunking Israel's 11 Main Myths About Gaza, Hamas and War Crimes
August 21, 2014 10:03 am 7 comments Views: 914
You've got to hand it to Israeli spinners like Mark Regev. They are masters of PR. In fact, as the Independent's Patrick Cockburn revealed over the weekend, "the playbook they are using is a professional, well-researched and confidential study on how to influence the media and public opinion in America and Europe".
Let's be clear: I'm no fan of Hamas, a brutal and anti-Semitic group which has been accused by Amnesty International and other NGOs of human rights abuses against the people of Gaza and of war crimes against the people of Israel. Firing rockets into civilian areas isn't justified under international law, even if it is framed as part of a (legitimate) struggle against foreign military occupation.
Having said that, however, in recent days I've been debating supporters of Israel's latest assault on Gaza on radio and on Twitter and I've been astonished not just by the sheer number of fact-free claims made by those supporters, but also by their confidence, slickness and sheer message discipline. According to the pro-Israel, pro-IDF crowd, Hamas is to blame for everything.
This, of course, is utter nonsense. To quote the late US senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan: "You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts."
So, in a Moynihanian spirit, here are fact-filled, evidence-based rebuttals to the 11 main myths, half-truths and self-serving 'talking points' that are repeatedly pushed by various Israeli spokespersons, both on the airwaves and on social media:
1) The Gaza Strip isn't occupied by Israel
Boston Globe: "Israeli-imposed buffer zones.. now absorb nearly 14 percent of Gaza's total land and at least 48 percent of total arable land. Similarly, the sea buffer zone covers 85 percent of the maritime area promised to Palestinians in the Oslo Accords, reducing 20 nautical miles to three." Human Rights Watch: "Israel also continues to control the population registry for residents of the Gaza Strip, years after it withdrew its ground forces and settlements there." B'Tselem, 2013: "Israel continues to maintain exclusive control of Gaza's airspace and the territorial waters, just as it has since it occupied the Gaza Strip in 1967."
2) Israel wants a ceasefire but Hamas doesn't
Al Jazeera: "Meshaal said Hamas wants the 'aggression to stop tomorrow, today, or even this minute. But [Israel must] lift the blockade with guarantees and not as a promise for future negotiations'. He added 'we will not shut the door in the face of any humanitarian ceasefire backed by a real aid programme'." Jerusalem Post: "One day after an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire accepted by Israel, but rejected by Hamas, fell through, the terrorist organization proposed a 10-year end to hostilities in return for its conditions being met by Israel, Channel 2 reported Wednesday.. Hamas's conditions were the release of re-arrested Palestinian prisoners who were let go in the Schalit deal, the opening of Gaza-Israel border crossings in order to allow citizens and goods to pass through, and international supervision of the Gazan seaport in place of the current Israeli blockade." BBC: "Israel's security cabinet has rejected a week-long Gaza ceasefire proposal put forward by US Secretary of State John Kerry 'as it stands'."
3) Israel, unlike Hamas, doesn't deliberately target civilians
The Guardian: "It was there that the second [Israeli] shell hit the beach, those firing apparently adjusting their fire to target the fleeing survivors. As it exploded, journalists standing by the terrace wall shouted: 'They are only children.'" UN high commissioner for human rights Navi Pillay: "A number of incidents, along with the high number of civilian deaths, belies the [Israeli] claim that all necessary precautions are being taken to protect civilian lives." United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, 2009: "The tactics used by the Israeli armed forces in the Gaza offensive are consistent with previous practices, most recently during the Lebanon war in 2006. A concept known as the Dahiya doctrine emerged then, involving the application of disproportionate force and the causing of great damage and destruction to civilian property and infrastructure, and suffering to civilian populations. The Mission concludes from a review of the facts on the ground that it.. appears to have been precisely what was put into practice."
4) Only Hamas is guilty of war crimes, not Israel
Human Rights Watch: "Israeli forces may also have knowingly or recklessly attacked people who were clearly civilians, such as young boys, and civilian structures, including a hospital – laws-of-war violations that are indicative of war crimes."Amnesty International: "Deliberately attacking a civilian home is a war crime, and the overwhelming scale of destruction of civilian homes, in some cases with entire families inside them, points to a distressing pattern of repeated violations of the laws of war."
5) Hamas use the civilians of Gaza as 'human shields'
Jeremy Bowen, BBC Middle East editor: "I saw no evidence during my week in Gaza of Israel's accusation that Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields." The Guardian: "In the past week, the Guardian has seen large numbers of people fleeing different neighbourhoods.. and no evidence that Hamas had compelled them to stay." The Independent: "Some Gazans have admitted that they were afraid of criticizing Hamas, but none have said they had been forced by the organisation to stay in places of danger and become unwilling human-shields." Reuters, 2013: "A United Nations human rights body accused Israeli forces on Thursday of mistreating Palestinian children, including by torturing those in custody and using others as human shields."
6) This current Gaza conflict began with Hamas rocket fire on 30 June 2014
Times of Israel: "Hamas operatives were behind a large volley of rockets which slammed into Israel Monday morning, the first time in years the Islamist group has directly challenged the Jewish state, according to Israeli defense officials.. The security sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, assessed that Hamas hadprobably launched the barrage in revenge for an Israeli airstrike several hours earlier which killed one person and injured three more.. Hamas hasn't fired rockets into Israel since Operation Pillar of Defense ended in November 2012." The Nation: "During ten days of Operation Brother's Keeper in the West Bank [before the start of the Gaza conflict], Israel arrested approximately 800 Palestinians without charge or trial, killed nine civilians and raided nearly 1,300 residential, commercial and public buildings. Its military operation targeted Hamas members released during the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange in 2011."
7) Hamas has never stopped firing rockets into Israel
Jewish Daily Forward: "Hamas hadn't fired a single rocket since [2012 Gaza conflict], and had largely suppressed fire by smaller jihadi groups. Rocket firings, averaging 240 per month in 2007, dropped to five per month in 2013." International Crisis Group: "Fewer rockets were fired from Gaza in 2013 than in any year since 2001, and nearly all those that were fired between the November 2012 ceasefire and the current crisis were launched by groups other than Hamas; the Israeli security establishment testified to the aggressive anti-rocket efforts made by the new police force Hamas established specifically for that purpose.. As Israel (and Egypt) rolled back the 2012 understandings – some of which were implemented spottily at best – so too did Hamas roll back its anti rocket efforts."
8) Hamas provoked Israel by kidnapping and killing three Israeli teenagers
Jewish Daily Forward: "The [Israeli] government had known almost from the beginning that the boys were dead. It maintained the fiction that it hoped to find them alive as a pretext to dismantle Hamas' West Bank operations.. Nor was that the only fib. It was clear from the beginning that the kidnappers weren't acting on orders from Hamas leadership in Gaza or Damascus. Hamas' Hebron branch — more a crime family than a clandestine organization — had a history of acting without the leaders' knowledge, sometimes against their interests." BBC correspondent Jon Donnison: "Israeli police MickeyRosenfeld tells me men who killed 3 Israeli teens def lone cell, hamas affiliated but not operating under leadership.. Seems to contradict the line from Netanyahu government."
9) Hamas rule, not Israel's blockade, is to blame for the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip
US State Department cable: "Israeli officials have confirmed to Embassy officials on multiple occasions that they intend to keep the Gazan economy functioning at the lowest level possible consistent with avoiding a humanitarian crisis.. Israeli officials have confirmed.. on multiple occasions that they intend to keep the Gazan economy on the brink of collapse without quite pushing it over the edge." The Guardian: "The Israeli military made precise calculations of Gaza's daily calorie needs to avoid malnutrition during a blockade imposed on the Palestinian territory between 2007 and mid-2010, according to files the defence ministry released on Wednesday under a court order.. The Israeli advocacy group Gisha.. waged a long court battle to release the document. Its members say Israel calculated the calorie needs for Gaza's population so as to restrict the quantity of food it allowed in."
10) The Israeli government, unlike Hamas, wants a two-state solution
Times of Israel: "[Netanyahu] made explicitly clear that he could never, ever, countenance a fully sovereign Palestinian state in the West Bank.. Amid the current conflict, he elaborated, 'I think the Israeli people understand now what I always say: that there cannot be a situation, under any agreement, in which we relinquish security control of the territory west of the River Jordan.'"
11) All serious analysts agree it was Hamas, and not Israel, that started this current conflict
Nathan Thrall, senior Mid East analyst at the International Crisis Group, writing in the New York Times: "The current escalation in Gaza is a direct result of the choice by Israel and the West to obstruct the implementation of the April 2014 Palestinian reconciliation agreement." Henry Siegman, former national director, American Jewish Congress, writing for Politico: "Israel's assault on Gaza.. was not triggered by Hamas' rockets directed at Israel but by Israel's determination to bring down the Palestinian unity government that was formed in early June, even though that government was committed to honoring all of the conditions imposed by the international community for recognition of its legitimacy."

I told you before that I failed miserably at the gym. I was good for about 3 months and then it all just… ended. The want. The urge. My hair dresser told me that my blonde hair would turn green if I kept going in the pool. That's all I needed to hear. LOL!
But that doesn't mean I don't want to lose weight. I DO want to shed a few pounds – like 7. Instead of me spending most of my day THINKING about how I WISH I was putting in the effort, I decided to actually put in the effort.
Slow steps at first, right? I got really excited and taped a few work out routines from Fit TV which in theory would be cool. But I just can't get around to dedicating an hour of my day to fitness.
I thought I'd just squeeze it in while running my everyday errands.
So, today I cleaned my bedroom and instead of bringing a garbage bag in with me, I walked back and forth to the kitchen every single time I had something to throw away. I purposely was not being efficient which forced me to get some cardio. I was rushing around back and forth to my kitchen, kids' bedrooms and living room. If I found a toy I would walk it to my kids room then come back and look for another. I know it sounds ridiculous, but there would be no other way for me to actually put in the effort. This worked for me today and I feel good about my brisk indoor walk.
Thank goodness Bill wasn't around to see me in action. I looked like a crazy person! But now my bedroom is clean and I got in a bit of cardio. So, it's all good.
What do you do to get in a few minutes here and there?

I'm still hooked on Jillian's dvds. When I don't have a chunk of time to commit, I always use her 30 day shred because it's quick but intense. I just cancelled my gym membership to cut back our expenses for the winter so now I'm going to solely work out at home and use the equipment I already have.

Lieutenant-Colonel William Harding (16 August 1792 – 13 January 1886) of Upcott in the parish of Pilton in Devon, was a British antiquary, geologist and army officer. He was a Fellow of  the Geological Society and  after his retirement from the Army was an active member of the Exeter Diocesan Architectural and Archaeological Society. He is known for his History of Tiverton (2 volumes) published in 1845 and 1847.

Origins
He was born on 16 August 1792 at Upcott, the 3rd son of Robert Harding (1750–1804) of Upcott, (son of Thomas Harding (1708–1772) of Upcott by his wife Mary Bryan daughter of Richard Bryan of South Molton) by his wife Dyonisia Wrey (1759–1836) 2nd daughter of Sir Bourchier Wrey, 6th Baronet (c.1715–1784) of Tawstock Court, Devon (about 3 miles south of Upcott), a Member of Parliament for Barnstaple, Devon (1 mile south-east of Upcott), one of the most prominent noblemen and largest landowners in the county, being the heir of the Bourchier Earls of Bath of Tawstock. His younger brother, the fourth son, was Rev. John Harding (1800–1880), Rector of Goodleigh from 1831 until his death.

His family was related to the Harding family of Buzzacott in the parish of Combe Martin in North Devon, of whom an early member was Thomas Harding (1516–1572) a Roman Catholic priest and controversialist and one of the Worthies of Devon of the biographer John Prince (d.1723). In the early 1790s Richard Harding of the Buzzacott family was a founding partner of the surviving Devonshire law firm Brewer Harding & Rowe, whose early work involved the management of the Harding estates. After World War II it was acquired by Geoffrey Stallard, a London solicitor, and in 1988 the firm donated a large collection of Harding family papers to the North Devon Records Office.

Career
Harding attended Blundell's School in Tiverton (1801–7), about 28 miles south-east of his home at Upcott, during which time his father died. In July 1811, aged 18, his military career commenced when he received a commission as ensign and served with the 5th Regiment of Foot (later renamed 5th Northumberland Fusiliers) during the Peninsular War, during which he was present at the Siege of Burgos (1812), the capture of Madrid (1812), and fought in the Battle of Vitoria (1813), Battle of the Pyrenees (July 1813), and the battles of Nivelle, Nive, Orthes and Toulouse, having been promoted Lieutenant in 1813. He was awarded the Military General Service Medal with six clasps.

Following the end of the war, in 1823 he obtained his own company, becoming captain of the 58th Yeomanry of Foot and was posted to the recently built Military Ordnance Depot at Weedon Bec in Northamptonshire. In November 1826 he left the army as a major on half-pay.

Retirement
In 1866, following the death of his elder brother Thomas Wrey Harding (1783–1866), he inherited the Upcott estate and lordship of the manor of Pilton. On a prominent hill on his estate of Upcott he built a large stone folly, described variously as either a "castellated sham gatehouse" (Pevsner) or a Triumphal Arch, which latter interpretation is believed to commemorate his military service during the Peninsular War. This survives today, somewhat dilapidated, as a prominent landmark visible from the main road between Barnstaple to Braunton. In 1850 he paid for the building of three of the turrets on Pilton Church. He spent the last years of his life working on his huge collection of papers mostly relating to the churches, memorials and families of Devon. These remain unpublished and following his death were deposited in the Athaneum in Barnstaple. A Report on the Harding Collection was published in 1870 by the Devonshire Association.

Marriage and children
In January 1824 at Weedon Bec he married Ann Elizabeth Jones (d.1893), who survived him and by whom he had two sons, who predeceased him unmarried and without children of their own, and one daughter, who also predeceased him, as follows:

Robert William Harding (18241851), eldest son, educated at Blundell's School, matriculated at Balliol College, Oxford in 1842, a barrister-at-law of the Inner Temple in 1851. He died in Exeter in 1851 aged 27. His joint monument with his brother is in Pilton Church.
Capt. Thomas Henry Harding (1826–1856), Royal Artillery, educated at Blundell's School, died aged 30, buried at Barnstaple, near Upcott. His joint monument with his brother is in Pilton Church.
Maria Elizabeth Harding (1830–1846), died aged 16, to whom he erected a monument in St Peter's Church, Tiverton.

Death and burial

He died on 13 January 1886 at Upcott and his funeral was held in Pilton Church, to which his coffin had been accompanied by a large procession including his tenantry and estate workers. He was buried in the churchyard of Pilton Church, inside which survives his mural monument, on the centre of the west wall, inscribed as follows:

"In memory of Lt Col William Harding JP of Upcott, Pilton, who died 13th January 1886 aged 93. He served in the 5th Northumberland Fusiliers and was present at the Battles of Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes and Toulouse, for which he received the Peninsular War Medal with six clasps. He lived deservedly respected and left a widow and many friends to mourn his loss. Also of Ann Elizabeth Harding his wife who died 19th December 1893".
Arms above: Or, on a bend sable three martlets of the field (Harding), a mullet for difference of a 3rd son. Crest: A falcon rising. Monument marked: W.Youings & Son, Barum

Succession
He was succeeded by his kinsman Colonel John Stafford Goldie Harding (1856–1936), OBE, of the Devon Regiment, who commenced his military service in 1874 with the Devon Militia and later served with the 3rd (which he later commanded) and 4th Battalions of the Devonshire Regiment. In World War I he served as Chief Recruiting Officer for Devonshire. John Stafford Goldie Harding was buried at Instow in North Devon.

Top Paid YouTube Stars Revealed – With Creator, 23, Who Earned £39m in 2021 at the top of the list | science and technology news
Leave a Comment	/ Paid Advertising / By admin
The highest-paid YouTube stars have been revealed, with a 23-year-old creator who earned £39m in 2021 topping the list.
The platform is increasingly profitable for content creators, with the highest-paid stars collectively earning £219m last year – up from 40% the year before.
YouTube's Forbes Rich List found that MrBeast – real name Jimmy Donaldson – posted the biggest profit in 2021. That's nearly double what last year's No. 1 Ryan Kaji made in 2020.
Last year MrBeast spent 50 hours buried alive, offering £7,300 to anyone willing to sit in a bathtub of snakes, and hosting his own version of Squid Games, including building replicas of the show's sets with a cash prize of £333,000 .
The YouTuber has also expanded into MrBeast burger, an app and menu that allows fans to order branded meals from 1,600 restaurants across the United States—and has so far sold more than five million sandwiches.
Brothers Jake and Logan Paul are back on the list this year, with the former taking second place.
Highest-paid YouTubers in 2021
1. MrBeast – £39.5 million
2. Jake Paul – 33 million pounds
3. Markiplier – £28 million
4. Rhett & Link – £22 million
5. Untold – £20.8 million
6. Like Nastya – £20.4 million
7. Ryan Kaji (Ryan's World) – 19.7 million pounds
8. Dude Perfect – £14.6 million
9- Logan Paul – 13 million pounds
10. Preston – 11.7 million pounds
The couple were some of the biggest names on YouTube until Logan posted a video in December 2017 filmed in a Japanese forest, notorious as a suicide point. The resulting backlash affected their channel both – sponsors cut their links and YouTube demonized their content.
The pair can now re-earn money from YouTube ads, but Jake – who posts less than he did before – is now using the site largely as a way to market his boxing career.
Two kids made it to the top ten, with seven-year-old Natasha earning £20.4 million. Nastya, who emigrated from Russia with her parents, struck a deal with a company called Spotter, where she sold the rights to her old YouTube videos while retaining the rights to any new content she posted.
Her best songs from 2021 included videos about decorating Halloween cakes and spending time with her best friends.
Ryan Kaji, who started on the podium as a four-year-old in review and play, slipped from first to seventh, earning £19.7 million.
Among those who helped run his business was former Disney CEO Chris Williams. The young man holds 31 million subscribers and a set of branded merchandise and toys.
The list has been compiled using estimates that measured profits from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and figures before taxes – no deductible fees for agents, directors and attorneys. Estimates were based on data from Captiv8, SocialBlade, Pollstar, and interviews with industry insiders.

Look out for this stolen backpack and notebook.
Maketto pastry chef Rebekka Baltzell stopped by work for just an hour yesterday to do some prep work for a kids' cookie decorating class on Valentine's Day. She figured she'd be in and out, so she left her backpack in the backseat of the car.
But when she returned to her parking spot at 13th and G streets Northeast, she noticed glass everywhere. Someone had broken into her car and stolen her black-and-white floral JanSport backpack containing her wallet and five hand-written recipe books. At least a thousand recipes from the past decade—basically her entire life's work—were gone.
"They didn't really get much of anything in taking it, but it's priceless to me," Baltzell says.
The books contain recipes from her time working at Restaurant Eve and Society Fair as well as the last four years at Maketto. There's also a trove of recipes from an internship in Italy she did after culinary school. Baltzell says she has always preferred the paper and pen to online documentation.
"I'm not the best with technology, it hates me. Certain things like that I like being old-school. I can edit the recipes while I'm working better," she says.
Baltzell is offering a reward for the return of her notebooks: $100 and free pastries baked personally by her for a year. If you find something, contact her at ladolcesirena@gmail.com.


Most of us understand the basics of the color wheel: from primary and secondary colors to how certain color combinations work together. However, how you interpret the color wheel can be so much more than simply knowing how to mix and mingle red, yellow, blue, orange, purple and green. Knowing the various color schemes helps boost our color knowledge. And, this is essential for creatives, such as artists and designers.
Below, artist Patti Mollica breaks down some of the most common color schemes. She also quickly demonstrates how different color schemes impact the same composition, excerpted from her new book, How to Paint Fast Loose and Bold. Enjoy!
Color wheel with primary, secondary and tertiary hues; primary colors include: blue, yellow and red; secondary colors include: orange, violet and green; and tertiary colors include: yellow-orange, red-orange, red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green and yellow-green.
Although it is enjoyable to experiment with color schemes by choosing colors randomly based on our individual preferences, there are a number of color combinations, known as harmonic color schemes, that are considered especially pleasing. Harmonic color schemes consist of two or more colors on the color wheel that have a specific relationship based on their position and distance from one another.
Tint: A color that has been lightened by adding white.
Hue: The color of paint as it appears out of the tube, unmixed.
Tone: A color that has been lightened or darkened by adding gray.
Shade: A color that has been darkened by adding black.
When you are working with color schemes, you should consider using each color's extended range. This includes its shades, tints and tones. It will offer the eye some restful colors that have been lightened, darkened or neutralized. These variations also allow the more powerful saturated colors to be used more sparingly for emphasis when needed.
If you want to work with colors of your choice but are not sure how to start, it can be helpful to do some quick color sketches. If you need color inspiration, go to the hardware store and pick up some color chips or swatches in the hues you want to work with. It is useful to see the colors together. And, you can easily modify your palette by adding and removing colors to suit your taste.
Once you have made your color palette decisions, mix and blend those colors to create new hues, including beautiful unified grays and other related variations. Now let's move on to the various color schemes.
Below are several of the most commonly used color schemes with examples of paintings created with those same color schemes.
Analogous color scheme uses three or more colors that sit next to one another on the color wheel.
Triadic color scheme uses three colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel.
Complementary color scheme uses colors opposite of each other on the color wheel.
Square color scheme uses four colors evenly spaced around the color wheel.
Tetrad (or rectangular) color scheme uses four colors made from two complementary colors.
Split complementary color scheme uses one root color plus the two colors that are on either side of the root color's complement.
Analogous complementary color scheme uses three analogous colors, plus the complement of the middle analogous color.
Let's explore the way a color scheme is created.
Use a reference photo as a springboard to work on the overall design of the image for a more dynamic composition. The most important aspect of a good painting is a good underlying design.
If you bypass this step, you will end up simply copying exactly what you see in front of you. And rarely does nature offer the best possible composition for a successful painting. You will often have to move mountains, trees and anything else that weakens rather than strengthens your composition.
From the photo, create a three-value sketch. Try out some modifications you feel might enhance the composition. In this case, I wanted the barn to be more prominent. So, I enlarged it and added a silo.
I changed the angle of the hill from a horizontal to a diagonal. This way, the viewer's eye is led right to the barn, which is the focal point. I brought the height of the hill down because I felt the tree on the left would add an interesting silhouette shape against the sky.
The strip of greenery in the foreground felt distracting because it split the foreground into two even areas. So I turned it into a diagonal dark patch to add a more interesting angle to an otherwise very horizontal design.
When working with color schemes, whether based on personal preference or any of the traditional schemes from the color wheel relationships, it is best to choose one color to be dominant and use the rest of the colors as subordinate. In other words, colors are more interesting when they are used in unequal amounts.
For example, if you are using a complementary color scheme of red and green, it's best to make either red or green the dominant color, rather than using both colors in equal amounts. This gives the painting an overall mood and feeling. A painting that is 50% red and 50% green will not convey an overall mood as effectively as a painting where one color dominates.

Mollica demonstrates how to create a powerful composition, whatever the subject may be. With tons of start-to-finish demonstrations, exercises and tips, you'll discover how to paint fearlessly.

Pakistan: The condition of Pakistan (Pakistan economic crisis) is getting worse day by day. Pakistan, which was separated from India in 1947, is on the verge of complete disintegration today. Only a few days are left for this country surrounded by severe economic crisis. It is feared that our country will soon become as poor as Sri Lanka. According to recently revealed information, Pakistan India has foreign exchange reserves of only $ 4.3 billion, which means the country has only three weeks of money left. The game of this country will end in just seven days. This thing has been said by Sajid Tarar of Pakistani origin settled in America.
What did Sajid Tarar say?
Sajid Tarar tweeted that it is very unfortunate that Pakistan will not be able to buy more petroleum products in the next seven days. Pakistan's game will end with this. Everything is going to happen like what happened in Sri Lanka.
who are Sajid Tarar
Currently an American, Sajij Tara He is a native of Mandi Bahauddin in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Sajid is a big supporter of former US President Donald Trump. Sajid went to America to study international affairs and later settled here. He often criticizes the policies of the Government of Pakistan and believes that the country is where it is today because of those policies.
Situation is serious in Pakistan
A January 6 report stated that the country's currency reserves are at their lowest level in a decade. The Pakistani rupee has depreciated by 20 per cent against the US dollar. Pakistan government is going to present mini budget soon. The budget will address the concerns raised by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Because of this concern, Pakistan is not getting bailout package. According to the IMF, a bailout package can be found only if these conditions are met.
there will be more problems
According to a report in the Pakistani newspaper 'The Dawn', most people are of the opinion that the difficulties of the common man will be doubled due to the implementation of the IMF conditions. According to him, after the proposal of the IMF, inflation in the country will increase further. Already interest rates are skyrocketing and inflation is out of control. The war in Ukraine has slowed the global economy and made everyday goods more expensive. According to Dawn, the government has already decided to increase electricity tariffs by 30 per cent and gas prices by 60 to 70 per cent. Apart from this, new tax rates may also apply. Along with this, preparations are on to further increase the interest rate.


HAVERFORD, Pa. - A 103rd-minute goal by Nick Jannelli put an end to No. 19 Franklin & Marshall's bid for a second-straight Centennial Conference (CC) Crown as Haverford came away with a 3-2 2OT victory in Sunday afternoon's Title game.
The defeat dropped the Diplomats' record to 13-3-3 on the year while the Fords (14-4) secured the Conference's automatic bid into next week's NCAA Tournament. F&M will hope for one of the 19 at-large Pool C bids for the NCAA Playoffs.
The NCAA selection show will take place on Monday, Nov. 5 at 1:00 p.m. and can be viewed here.
Deadlocked at 2-2 in the second overtime stanza, the Fords forced a turnover in the F&M offensive third. A long through pass was sent to Peter Baroff on the far side who found Janelli in the box for the game winner.
Sunday's game had the makings of an instant classic from the onset of play. Haverford struck first in the eighth minute of regulation when a Michael Carr shot from 15 yards out made its way into the back of the net for the 1-0 edge.
F&M needed only six minutes to respond, evening the score at 1-1 off a well-placed Jim Connolly free kick from 20 yards out.
The back-and-forth affair continued in the 24th when Jannelli connected with Baroff for his seventh of the season to put the Fords back in front by one. A little more than a minute passed before the score was evened once again. This time it was Max Geuder notching the equalizer, taking a feed from Ryan Fincher and sending a shot past the Fords' goalkeeper.
F&M's defense held tough in the second frame to force overtime. Diplomat goalkeeper Christopher Amoruso, who entered the game at the end of the first half, was stellar in throughout his time in net and forced overtime with a clutch 86th-minute save.
The overall shout count favored Haverford at 12-6, as well as corners at 9-4. Amoruso (7-3-3) suffered the loss for F&M, registering three saves in 57:43 minutes of action. The Fords' Michael Iacono (11-4) earned the win with two saves in 102:34 minutes of play.

Top 10 Tallest Bowlers In Cricket History | All-Time Ranking
Game outcomes are determined by the skill of a player. For their success, however, sometimes they need specific physical attributes. It is a significant unusuality for some players to be extremely tall. This, of course, does make a difference in cricket, like basketball or volleyball. It is said that cricket, which is a batsman's game, is more fascinating to watch because of bowlers who are tall and create a tremendous amount of bounce on a pitch. Here we discuss the tallest bowlers in cricket's history of all time.

FAQs Regarding Tallest Bowlers In Cricket
Q. Who is the tallest bowler in the world?
Q. Who is the tallest bowler right now?
Q. How tall is Mohammad Irfan?
Q. Who is the tallest bowler in ODI cricket?
Cricket is also about the tall stature of the players. So, here are the tallest bowlers ever to grace the cricket ground.
Timothy Tremlett was an English cricketer who played for the England national team and for the Hampshire and Surrey County teams. He was born on 2 September 1981. Chris was a quick-medium bowler who could deliver bounce on a variety of surfaces, standing 6 feet 7 inches tall (2.01 m) and known as one of the tallest bowlers in cricket history.
Besides, he is also known as one of the fittest male athletes during his heydays. As a player, Tremlett began his career in 2000 and was selected for Hampshire's squad in 2004. After playing his first One Day International match in 2005, he took part in his first Test match two years later.
After struggling with injuries, Tremlett moved to Surrey at the beginning of 2010. His desire to return to the Test team resulted in his inclusion in the team that won the Ashes in Australia in 2010–11. With seven first-class fifties to his name, he was a competent number 8 or 9 batsman. Furthermore, his arm is impressive when he bats deep in order.
England accounted for Sri Lanka for 184 in the third match of the summer of 2011 with his best Test figures of 6/48. As a result, Tremlett finished the series as either side's leading wicket-taker with 15 dismissals.
Sulieman Jamaal Benn is a West Indian cricketer who plays international cricket for the West Indies and first-class cricket for Barbados. Initially, Benn bowled orthodox spin with a left arm. And still, he is dubbed as one of the greatest spinners in cricket history.
Moreover, he is an above-average left-handed batsman with a first-class average of 17.48. With a height of 6 feet 7 inches, Benn always creates trouble for batsmen around the world. He is known as one of the tallest bowlers ever and always shoots powerful bouncers with his exceptional height and skills. Benn reached his first five-wicket haul against Australia on the third day of the 2nd test on 6 December.
He bowled 53 overs during the innings, resulting in career-best figures of 5/155. On the third day of the West Indies-Australia test at the WACA stadium, Benn was cited for errant actions when he tangled with Mitchell Johnson while fielding the ball. Following his conviction for breaching the spirit of the game, he was suspended for two One Day Internationals.
With four wickets for six runs, Benn became the first bowler to take two consecutive overs in a Twenty20 international against a nation with test status in the 28 February 2010 match against Zimbabwe. His partnership with Nikita Miller for the highest tenth wicket at the ICC World T20 2012 sets a record.
The former captain of the West Indies cricket team, Jason Omar Holder, was born in Barbados on 5 November 1991. He debuted as a One Day International (ODI) player in January 2013 and as a Test player in June 2014. The 2019 Cricket World Cup marked Holder's 100th ODI match for the West Indies.
According to the official ICC Test rankings, he was ranked number one all-rounder globally in January 2019. And he is dubbed as one of the greatest all-rounders in cricket history. It was announced in August 2019 that he was the Test Player of the Year for Cricket West Indies.
In the history of West Indian captains, he became the youngest ever when he was 23 years, 72 days old. Ahead of the international tour of Sri Lanka, he was named captain.
With this appointment, he became the second-youngest captain for the West Indies in the history of the world's tests and the 15th youngest captain overall. Holder is known as one of the tallest bowlers in cricket's history, with a height of 6 feet 7 inches.
Former West Indies cricketer Ambrose Ambrose was born on 21 September 1963 and played 98 Test matches. A world-class fast bowler for much of his career, he took 405 wickets in Test cricket at an average of 20.99 and topped the ICC Player Rankings for much of that time.
His great height of six feet seven inches makes him one of the tallest bowlers ever. Besides, he is also dubbed as one of the greatest cricketers of all time due to his prowess in the game.
Ambrose created the ball bounce unusually high after he bowled it; he delivered the ball with speed and accuracy which made him a difficult opponent for batsmen. When it came to reporters, he was notoriously reserved during his career.
His career included being named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1992. The International Cricket Council inducted him into its Hall of Fame and picked him to be in an all-time XI of the West Indies.
Originally from Woodville, South Australia, George is an Australian Test cricketer. In first-class cricket, George plays right-arm fast-medium for the Queensland Bulls. It is said that George's style is similar to that of former fast-bowler and one of the greatest fast bowlers in cricket history, Glenn McGrath.
In the 2008/09 season, he made his debut for the Redbacks. A 4-56 performance against Tasmania was his best in Hobart. Bowling figures of 8 for 84 have been George's record at Bellerive Oval.
Furthermore, He has a height of 6 feet 8 inches and is known as one of the tallest cricketers ever. Following several injuries to Australian pacemen in the 2009-10 tour of New Zealand, George was called into the Australian Test squad as an emergency replacement.
He then played for the team during the 2010 series against Pakistan in England and the 2010-11 tour of India. The only Test he played was the Second Test against India in Bangalore, where he took two wickets.
Known for his sterling successes as a cricketer during the West Indies' highly successful period from the 1970s to the 80s, Joel Garner was born on 16 December 1952 in Trinidad and Tobago. Garner ranks as the No. 1 bowler in the ICC's best-ever bowling ratings for one-day internationals, and #37 in tests, according to the ratings.
A record-breaking 15-year streak in which the West Indies did not drop a Test match saw their test cricket performance reach unprecedented heights. The ICC Cricket Hall of Fame inducted Garner into membership in 2010. Besides, he is still dubbed as one of the fastest bowlers in cricket history.
With 259 wickets taken at an average of barely over 20, Gardner is among the most effective bowlers of all time, appearing in 58 Tests between 1977 and 1987. One of the tallest fast bowlers ever to play test cricket, he stood at 6 feet 8 inches tall at the time. However, Garner's career was defined by limited-overs cricket, in which he took 146 wickets in 98 matches.
As well as his devastating yorker, he also generated more bounce. With over 100 ODI wickets at an average of fewer than 20 runs per wicket as of January 2020, he is one of only two players with such records. With an economy rate of 3.09 runs per over, he is the best bowler of any level of experience. His ranking is the highest among all ODI bowlers.
A former Australian international cricketer, Bruce Anthony Reid, was born on 14 March 1963. A 203 cm (6 ft. 8 in) tall left-arm fast-medium bowler, Reid represented Western Australia in domestic cricket. During the period from December 1985 to December 1992, Reid played Test cricket for Australia, as well as One Day Internationals between January 1986 and March 1992.
Averaging 24.63 runs per wicket, he took 113 wickets in 27 Tests for Australia. Among his 61 international appearances, he also caught 63 wickets. During his heydays, he delivered one of the best bowling spells in the history of cricket.
In his fast-medium deliveries, Reid used a left-arm arm swing and an awkward angle. From a great height, he was able to bounce steeply and was very accurate and known as one of the tallest cricketers of all time. During his debut against India in January 1986, Reid had his first taste of an international match.
Since then, he became a key member of the Australian bowling attack. A back injury forced him to miss Australia's 1988 tour of Pakistan. Thereafter, Reid had a troubled international career due to frequent injuries and inadequate fitness levels.
An Australian cricketer, Billy James Stanlake, was born on November 4, 1994. Australia's fast bowler played for the entire national team in both One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals during the 2014 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. As a member of the Melbourne Stars of the Big Bash League, he plays domestic cricket for Queensland.
Two hundred four centimeters tall, Stanlake is the tallest Australian cricketer ever to represent Australia internationally. The Queensland state cricket team offered Stanlake a rookie contract following his Under-19 World Cup performance, but he missed the entire season due to stress fractures in his back.
He instead made his debut in all three major formats of cricket (first-class, one-day, and Twenty20) in the 2015–16 seasons. And since that, he executed some of the most economical bowling in cricket history. He often bowls as an opener, and he has a right-arm fast bowling style.
The bounce and pace of his bowling are known for their impressive qualities, since his height gives him an advantage over other bowlers, making him one of the tallest fast bowlers in the world, and he can bowl at a speed of 150 km/h and swing the ball. He mainly played Twenty20 cricket, as he failed to appear in other formats due to stress fracture injuries.
Former Northern Irish cricketer Rankin (born 5 July 1984) played for Ireland and briefly for England. His bowling style is medium-fast. He is the older brother of David Rankin, another cricketer. Rankin was born in Derry and stood 6'8″ tall, with a bouncing bowling action. Besides his impressive height, he is also one of the most popular cricketers of all time.
A recent interview with Rankin revealed that he models his movement on bowlers like Curtly Ambrose and Glenn McGrath, who "pitch their deliveries from just below off stump." A T20 match against New Zealand was his first appearance for England. During the Ashes series in Australia in 2013-14, he also played a Test for England.
Ireland's leading wicket-taker at the World Cup in the Caribbean was Rankin. Averaging 27 wickets per match with a strike rate of 29.67, he has taken 12 wickets in nine games.
With a height of 6 feet 8 inches, Rankin gave a tough time to batsmen. And almost everyone now also considers him as one of the tallest bowlers ever in cricket history. Announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket on 21 May 2021, Rankin signaled his exit from all fields of play.
In addition to playing Test cricket for Pakistan, Mohammad Irfan represents the nation internationally in ODI and Twenty20 matches. The tallest cricketer to have ever played in first-class or international cricket, he stands at 7'1″ (216 cm).
Joel Garner of West Indies and Bruce Reid of Australia shared the title previously. During the Pakistani team's steam tour of India in December 2012, Irfan became a member of the Twenty20 International squad for the first time. And till now, he is considered one of the current fastest bowlers in cricket.
The 2018 Caribbean Premier League saw Irfan concede just one run and grab two wickets from four balls in the bowling contest for Barbados Tridents vs. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Among all T20 spells in the past, this was the most economical one.
At 7'17'1 and bowling at a brisk pace, Irfan brings a new dimension to the Pakistan bowling attack. He talks about how Virat Kohli became surprised to see him going closer to 150 kph.
We hope you liked the list of our tallest bowlers of all time in cricket's history. Feel free to tell us in the comment box about the list. We appreciate your feedback.

These individuals and companies impersonate us (brokers of financial markets) and deliver a totally different thing instead of our services. A very popular and general name for this phenomenon is Foreign Exchange Market.
Originally the word FX is an abbreviation for Foreign Exchange. It refers to the exchange of foreign currencies. However since the above mentioned scam is most of the time involved with currency exchange rates, it is widely known as Foreign Exchange Market trading. This fraud is most of the times guiding its victim to use a computer program that they call trading platform that they claim it connects the trader to international financial markets.
1- Always be careful when what you trade is not being traded on an exchange. Ask for the name of the exchange where the instrument you trade is being traded. Specially be sensitive to the word " International Markets" such thing doesn't exists and has no meaning. Each instrument is traded on one and only one exchange.
Trading currency contracts is very exciting as they normally have high leverage and volatility. If this is what you decide to do, we will provide you access to real Foreign Exchange Market trading.

Those who are planning to spend a long weekend in Sakleshpur or Kodagu in the third week of April this year, are in for a real shock. Skipping the voting on the polling days is something the homestays and resorts in the areas will not entertain, and they will be reluctant to serve as hosts.
Poor turnout for the polls was expected in Bengaluru because of government holidays a day before and after the polls, which is again followed by the weekend. The homestays and resorts are trying to create awareness among citizens on the fact that voting is much more important than spending a holiday.
Soon after the polling dates were announced by the Election Commission, resorts and homestays in Sakleshpur stopped taking bookings for April 18. This is their bit to ensure that everyone takes part in the elections.
"For the people who have done advance booking, we are requesting them to reschedule their plans. There are a few bookings on the above mentioned dates, we have asked them to advance or postpone their plans and also given the option of refund. Now, it's up to the people to consider it. If they deliberately want to skip the polls, we can't help," Santosh, owner of the Stone Valley Resorts, Sakleshpur told Deccan Herald.
The owners of these resorts and homestays have taken this initiative on their own. Business is now taking a beating for a few months in flood-hit Madikeri district, but despite that, the association of homestays has urged its members to ensure that they remind tourists of the polling dates in their constituencies if they make bookings for April 18 or 23.
President of Kodagu Homestays Association, Viju Changappa, clarified that they are doing this in their limits. He said that their members are all aware of the scheduled election dates across India, and will urge tourists who book accommodation to take part in the polls.
Resorts and homestays in Chikkamagaluru, however, have received very few bookings on election dates. There have been bookings for previous weekends of the election date, but none for the third week. As responsible citizens, we will take part in elections and our members will ask the tourists to do the same," Ansar Zabeer, president of Chikkamagaluru Homestays Association said.
As responsible citizens, all of us must ensure to do our bit for the country by taking part in the elections. While many of us may think that a single vote cannot make a difference, these resorts and homestays are giving out a really important message: each vote counts.


Many times I feel like I post things on my site too quickly and people don't have a chance to find them. I like keeping up a high turnover on the site so there is something new hopefully almost every time a visitor comes to my site. Because of this I feel like some of my cards get overlooked.
This card of Moose is from the Royals futures game on April 2nd 2011 at Kauffman Stadium. I attended the game an was likely more excited for it than any Royals game in a very long time. I made a complete set to commemorate the game. It is another original design, I will re-post several of these in the coming weeks.
Royals top prospect Mike Moustakas got the call and will make his major league debut tonight in California. I have to be honest, I really thought that it would be September before Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer both were in the Kansas City lineup. I am happy, this adds excitement to the Royals who realistically haven't been exciting for a very long time.
This card of Moustakas is from my spring training custom set. The call-up actually means that Mike Moustakas will have a real card in the Topps update set this year! That doesn't come out until September-October but I can't wait to try to pull a Hosmer or Moustakas rookie card out of the set.
Everybody is throwing out predictions for Moustakas' first game, here is mine: 1-3 2B, RBI, 1 BB, 1K.


Last week we held the first Natural Environment debate with the West Midlands Mayoral candidates. At the end, the audience voted for who they thought should be the Mayor based on the evening's discussion. We're delighted to announce that Beverley Nielson (Lib Dem) won the ballot with 39% of the vote, in second place was Andy Street (Conservative) on 26% and third place went to James Burn (Green) with 16%.
Before the event hundreds of people signed a pledge asking leaders to commit to the 25 year Natural Capital vision presented to the candidates on the night. The vision recognises the £1.2bn the environmental economy contributed to the WMCA economy in 2014 and the £104m that the local NHS could save each year if everyone has access to quality greenspace. In Birmingham alone it is estimated that there are 900 deaths linked to air pollution each year and that 29% of citizens living within the West Midlands Combined Authority area are inactive. The World Health Organisation recognises inactivity as one of the leading causes of disease and disability.
And it's not just health that benefits, last year stress accounted for nearly half of working days lost to illness – and nature is recognised as one of the best ways to prevent and relieve stress, helping increase productivity at work.
The West Midlands Mayor will be in a unique position to lead the way in helping residents reap the rewards our environment provides by putting our natural assets at the centre of planning and development strategy. Within Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and Coventry there are 267km of canals and over 1,000 hectares of Local Nature Reserves. Benefits from green space extend from gardens and road verges to nature reserves and rivers, by creating more high quality natural green spaces and green corridors between them wildlife, including bees and small mammals, would thrive. Space would be created for physical activity and air quality improved. By reconnecting rivers with their natural floodplains more areas could be protected from flooding.
So far James Burn (Green), Pete Durnell (UKIP), Beverley Nielson (Lib Dem), Sion Simon (Labour), and Graham Stevenson (Communist) have committed to signing the #WMPledge4Nature. Andy Street (Conservative) expressed his enthusiasm for integrating the principles of the pledge into the work of the West Midlands Combined Authority should he be elected.
A full report will be available shortly and will contain details of all questions and answers.
